If you think Korean cuisine is all about kimchi, tofu soup and Korean BBQ, you’re missing the big picture. Korea and China share a rich history that goes back several centuries, so it’s highly conceivable that there would be an exchange of culinary traditions over that span. According to historical accounts, the birth of modern Korean Chinese cuisine can most likely be traced back to the settlement of ethnic Chinese people in the west coast port city of Incheon in the latter half of the 19th century. Korean Chinese cuisine is highly influenced by Northeast Chinese culinary traditions, including those of Beijing and Shandong Province — both less than 600 miles from Seoul and Incheon.
